| The International Organization for Migration
(IOM) presence in Azerbaijan dates back to 1996 with
the establishment of the IOM Baku office in January.
In 1998 the Organization's second field office has
been opened in Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic; and
in August 2006, IOM's third office in the country
was opened in Mingachevir. On 8 December 1999, the
Agreement establishing the legal basis for further
development of friendly cooperation between IOM and
the Republic of Azerbaijan in handling migration
issues has been signed. Following the Agreement's
ratification by the National Assembly of the
Republic of Azerbaijan on 8 February 2000, the
Council of IOM, at its 81st Session in Geneva,
agreed to accept Azerbaijan as an IOM Member State
on 7 June 2001. Since the inauguration of its Baku
office in January 1996, IOM has been implementing a
variety of projects in consistence with its mission
to assist the Government of Azerbaijan in meeting
the operational challenges of migration, advance
understanding of migration issues, encourage social
and economic development, and uphold the human
